Woman rescued from smoke-filled home

Smoke from a fire that started on a mattress drove a woman from her home at The Colony early Friday morning, according to a news release from the Murrieta Fire Department.

The Fire Department responded to the report of a fire at the home on Via Barletta shortly after midnight, and found the only person in the house at the time, a woman in her 80s, walking down a smoke-filled hallway attempting to leave, the news release stated.
